Want to get artistically inspired? The Lewis Center for the Arts is offering an exhibition of fall visual arts classes titled “Works on Paper Show and Video Screening.” VIS 202: Introductory Drawing, VIS 212: Introductory Photography, VIS 222: Introductory Sculpture and VIS 312: Introduction to Color Photography will be represented in all kinds of media. It’s been pretty grey out there, so throw on a coat, make the march to 185 Nassau St. and go look at some beautiful and thought-provoking work. 185 Nassau St.Feb. 2–18 Film: Free Movies at the Garden TheatreDid you think that Zach Galifanakis was the best part of “The Hangover”? Do you melt at the sight of handsome British men? Then you’ll want to make it out to the Garden Theater this weekend for a special showing of “Due Date” and “The King’s Speech.” In “Due Date,” Robert Downing Jr. and his companion, Galifanakis, race to witness the birth of his baby.
